Subject: Forgot the rest of the worl

This is a good ressource but it is fairly english-centric. Where are all the other great speach from around the workd? No Charle De Gaulle's call to arms? No Gandhi's Quit India? Missed opportunity I think.

Subject: Permission for use

Hiya!

I'd love to know whether I can use the "Greeting to the Children of England" speech for a piece of music I'm making. Also, if it's not public-domain, I'd like to know who the owner is. Thanks a lot, and awesome content!

Reviewer: breezenon - - May 7, 2015
Subject: Use for business phone in place of hold music?

Hello! I'd like to use a few of these speeches for my phone in place of hold music. Basically, when a client calls in and is put on hold, instead of hearing music they will hear clips of famous speeches. Are all of these speeches in public domain? If not, how do I obtain permission to use them? They will not be used for any gain or asset, simply in place of hold music. Thank you!

Answers can go to breezenon@hotmail.com

Reviewer: Kelli wong - - November 26, 2014
